Show Chat Avatar when using WebRTC to broadcast voice

hello all We're doing some broadcasting of our roll20 sessions and it's working ok. One thing that would be nice would be able to show the chat avatar in the boxes at the bottom of the screen while broadcasting "voice only". My avatar shows up fine if I set "I want to broadcast to others" to "Nothing (disable)" but in order to broadcast just voice, it shows a black box with a microphone icon only. Showing that icon would be perfect. Also, we'd prefer not to use G+ Hangouts because then all of our Google Avatars would be visible on the stream. To protect our players' privacy, we'd prefer to use chat avatars on screen, not actual pictures or account information.
+1 on this, particularly if showing the chat avatar also allows one to mute mic-only players (unless I'm missing something, one can't do that at present).

As a workaround, you can run a web-cam controller program, like ManyCam or CamTwist on PC or Mac. Find these free programs easily with a google search. These programs let you send a picture/image (your avatar picture) as your web-camera feed. Instead of using "Voice only" you would actually allow webcam, but choose that the webcam is the picture feed from ManyCam. In this way you can put any picture (your avatar, or you could even change it periodically to images such as your avatar on fire, or your avatar sleeping). Hope this helps you make your stream look extra custom!
